Air
Force Materiel Command boss Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger was surprised with a
nomination to be inducted into the command’s Order of the Sword during a recent
senior leader conference. "You lead with passion. You care about every one
of your airmen. You have made their quality of life, their training and
development, and their resources in a tough environment a priority," said CMSgt.
Michael Warner, command chief and senior enlisted officer at AFMC, before a
crowd of hundreds at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. "This has got to be the
highest honor I could ever have
bestowed on me, of anything that I could think of in my entire three-plus
decades in the United States Air Force. It doesn't get any better than
this," said Wolfenbarger, who is the first female from AFMC to be
nominated. She will be formally inducted on Feb. 5, 2015, according to a
command release.
